Cannot Use VPN Client to Establish IPSec Tunnel Outside Network

Hello Experts -
It's me again. I got my PIX setup thanks to you but now I can't use the VPN client to connect to a client outside my network. I have isakmp nat-traversal 20 setup but it's not allowing the VPN traffic. What do I need to do? Here's my config...

Hi chezbrgrs
You need this
fixup protocol pptp 1723
If you upgrade the IOS to 7.0, it will be used as inspections

batry_boy

Are you trying to use IPSEC or PPTP, as MrHusy alludes to?

chezbrgrs

ASKER

I'm using UDP/IPSEC. I thought enabling isakmp nat-traversal would take care of all port issues

batry_boy

What type of VPN device are you trying to connect to on the outside? Does it support using IPSEC over TCP? I've seen some environments where UDP doesn't work but TCP does. I've also seen the reverse. If the other end supports TCP, try that and see what you get.

ASKER

It's a PIX 515. It works fine when I'm not behind my own PIX.

Alan Huseyin Kayahan

did fixup work? if didnt try this
access-list outside_access_in permit gre any any
access-group outside_access_in in interface outside

chezbrgrs

ASKER

Is that fixup for IPSEC tunnels as well? I thought batry_boy implied it was only for PPTP.

batry_boy

The fixup is only for PPTP tunnels being initiated from inside the PIX outbound to an external PPTP server. MrHusy's suggestion of allowing inbound GRE traffic is to allow PPTP traffic initiated externally to come inbound.

ASKER

After looking around on the web, does the isakmp traversal need to be setup on the endpoint VPN. It's setup on mine but I'm not sure about the other one.

yep batry you re correct, I misunderstood, ignore it.

I took a look at the remote PIX configuartion. It's running 6.1 and isakmp nat-traversal was not introduced until 6.3. I can't upgrade it now so do I have any alternatives to using nat-traversal?

chezbrgrs

ASKER

Thanks batry_boy. I upgraded to 6.3(5) and issued the isakmp nat-traversal command. It's now working...thanks for your persistance.

Good deal...glad to help.
